New contactless link magnetic couplings from Miki Pulley

1 week ago | designworldonline.com | Mike Santora

Miki Pulley Magnetic Couplings are shaft couplings that transmit torque from one shaft to another using a magnetic field instead of a physical or mechanical connection. These Magnetic Couplings are non-contact and rely on the attraction and repulsion of magnetic poles to generate rotational power. The full product range of these coupling models can withstand significant misalignments and are silent, vibration-free, and do not generate thermal conduction.
